Ceramics are defined as inorganic, non-metallic, polycrystalline carbide, nitride, or oxide materials. Some of their examples are Tungsten carbide, Silicon carbide, Zinc oxide, Titanium carbide, ...

Technical ceramics are utilized in a variety of products and also for coatings of components that have to be highly wear- or temperature-resistant. They are also used in non-conductive or ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Something as simple as an electric field could soon make wartime missiles or drinking mugs easier to produce and more resilient for fracture. Items such as drinking mugs, ...

While most materials are classified by their properties, ceramics are classified by what they’re not. A ceramic material is any material that is inorganic and non-metallic. They are present in nearly ...

This review proposes to achieve the targeted development and fabrication of high-performance high-temperature electromagnetic shielding ceramics through microstructural engineering, additive ...

The range of nanoceramic materials can be categorized into two basic types, either oxide or non-oxide and in each case, the particle size for a specific application might differ. Oxide ceramic ...

The major attraction of structural ceramics has always been the capability of operating at temperatures far above those of metals. Structural applications now include engine components, cutting tools, ...

Bearings can use steel or ceramic balls, but that begs the obvious question: which is better? Should you stick with conventional steel or more modern ceramic?

A new technique from Purdue University is designed to improve missiles, engines and drinking glasses made from ceramic materials. (Stock photo) Something as simple as an electric field could soon make ...
